Part of the popularity may be at

which catch milady’s eye, fur pieces, .exotic hats and large bags. After all, these on top of a fur coat really do give a top heavy look and

something even more for the short Then too the untrimmed coat | answers the plea of the woman who | wants good lines and fabric in her| coat. One sales person in Indianap- | olis explained that the fur trimmed | coats cost twice as much in many cases as the untrimmed ones. That is, you can buy a coat in the same wool in an untrimmed model for | half what is paid for one with fur trimming. You can get an untrimmed coat trom about $20 on up. Forty dollars really buys-a nice one. : Popular this season are side closings with buckles, ties or buttons. Many of these closings have a binding of velvet or braid which continues on up to trim the collar or neckline. A Chesterfield with velvet cuffs and collar is really a classic. The woman who will wear her coat often will prabably want conservative black buttons on it but for those who can have other coats besides, there are jeweled buttons to add a note of luxury. If you -are to appear day after day in the coat and want to appear consistently smart chose a black one. If you just insist upon being anything but conventional, you may go in for one in a rich brown or grayed brown or even a blue with 8 soft green cast. By the way, if you want martens or kolinsky’s or some other brown fur with that black coat the dic-

tators ‘of fashion give the “go sig=-|

nal.” One store carries the kolinskys for about $10.50 a piece. It takes at least three skins to really make the beginning of a piece which you can add to. If your budget allows go in for mink or leopard accessories, A big leopard muff will cost you around $100. Although. leopard is the season's most popular fur, it is among the most costly. Have the furrier who makes it. saves the scraps from the skin. Then have a milliner use a piece of it as an accent on your hat, And what a huge silver fox muff wouldn't do for you and that untrimmed fur coat! You could wear these accessories, too, with fall Euits. ; Speaking of fur scraps, you can certainly utilize them this fall. One local store is showing a well known ghoe that uses them. This black suede classic pump has a bow of black suede at the vamp. You can take the bow out and put in a rolled piece of fur to match that muff and trimming on your hat They sell the bows if you don’t have fur scraps. © One store is showing fur mittens and gloves with pieces of fur as accents. If you can't have that leopard muff and are young. buy a pair of leopard mittens for $12 And believe it or not, fur is being used for jewelry. At one store you can buy a tiny gold leopard’s head elip with small balls of the fur as pendants for around $6. There is 8 bracelet made of leopard skin links, too.

Today's Recipe Spaghetti Campanola (Serves 6)

Using the Old Beanie

BEANIES, inspired by men’s Baseball caps, and mittens are the big noise on college campuses these days. The beanie on this coed, and her ‘boxing glove” mittens, are of red capeskin.

Stocking Points

YOUR Stocking casualties should! be fewer if vou buy the correct size (for both lez and foot and leg length), the right thread for the! sort of wear for which they are in- | tended, and reinforcements where | the most wear occurs. Launder them carefully each time they are worn. Use a bland soap well dissolved in warm water, rinse thoroughly and dry over a line or smooth rack. Don't twist when wringing out hose: squeeze dry. And keep a small bottle of a stop-run preparation in your purse for emergency repairs.

Making Perfect Tea TEA EXPERTS give three requi-

ure one teaspoon tea leaves to each cup of boiling water; add an extra teaspoonful. Use| only fresh, boiling water (bubbling, not just hot) and pour over the dry tea

HAVE YOU NOTICED the increasing popularity of the untrimmed coats this season? It is not a fad but really has a basis in practicality.

lluminated House Numbers

IF GUESTS arriving after dark have difficulty locating your house, one of the inconspicuous yet perfectly visible little numbered signs that reflect the lights from approaching motor cars planted near the curb in front of your house might be a happy investment.

System Eases Dishwashing

THERE'S no hard and fast rule about dishwashing but, generally speaking, most housewives find the task expedited by washing them in the following order: glasses, silver, cups and saucers, plates, platters and serving dishes; then Kitchen cutlery and lastly cooking utensils. Stacking and storing the leftover food before washing the dishes gives more room in the kitchen to work, and soaking the cooking utensils as soon as they are emptied eliminates a lot. of scrubbing and polishing.

Beauty and Utility New oven-to-table cooking ware takes on beauty as well as utility.

SURE. YOUR OLD STOVE STILL COOKS

old stove still cooks, but can you be sure of perfect baking results every time or do you put up with occasional failures? Are you doing “Model T” cooking—or do you enjoy the advantages of a streamlined modern 1940 gas range?

Modern gas cooking means fast burners that give you speed when you need it and a simmer flame when you want waterless cooking; it means non-clog burners with side openings which prevent boil-overs and spilled food from clogging the burners; it means a smooth porcelain enamel surface, easy to keep shining like new, with no seams or joints to catch dirt; and it means many other time, fuel and food saving features. Sure, your old stove still cooks, but can you truthfully say “Model T” cooking is fun? A
